This is done by constructing a four-rank tensor involving the curvature and derivatives of the field, which transforms covariantly under local Weyl rescalings. Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyl- and conformal invariance on the classical level. A necessary and sufficient condition in order that it be isometric with a sphere is obtained.

Let (Mn;g0) be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold and [g0] its conformal class. Here 1 (L g) is the -rst eigenvalue of L g. Tchrakian, Phys. Recently,1 it was shown that quantum effects of matter could be identified with the conformal degree of freedom of the space-time metric. To prove this, assume that g^ is a constant scalar curvature metric which is conformal to g. Although the conformal-scalar energy-momentum tensor does not satisfy the Dominant Energy Condition one may, by this means, still conclude that the ADM mass is positive. 3 Conformal Transformation of the Scalar Intrinsic Curvature55 5. Many interesting models incorporate scalar fields with non-minimal couplings to the spacetime Ricci curvature scalar. When a new metric is generated by conformal transformation the concern arises as to whether it is di erent from the original, or merely a coordinate transformation. 1 Conformal Mapping and Partial Differential Equations A point in the w-plane can be related to a given point in the z-plane with a func-tion.

These two ways are investigated and compared. The spray coe cients, Riemann curvature and Ricci curvature of conformally transformed m-th root metrics are shown to be certain rational. Let v be a vector field defining an infinitesimal conformal transformation on a compact orientable Riemannian manifold Mn of constant scalar curvature R. The only thing is that you'd need to account for a general g_00 term, i. It is shown that when R is a non-zero constant, the associated action is fully conformal and leads to the usual equations of motion associated with the standard Einstein-Hilbert action.

If the background is dS, then as is well-understood, the cosmological horizon forbids timelike Killing vectors outside, and one can only deal with systems localized within the horizon. In particular, we show that there is a natural definition of the Ricci and scalar curvatures associated to such a space, both of which are conformally invariant.

In analogy to the f(R) extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity, f(T) theories are generalizations of the action of teleparallel gravity. Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyl- and conformal invariance on the classical level. We shall denote their sectional curvature tensors by Ä, R, their Ricci tensors by r, F, and their scalar curvatures by S, S. Because the metric tensor accounts for vector length via L2 = g ˘ ˘ while also defining the line element via ds2 = g dx dx , these quantities will naturally vary under a. Conformal Gravity Theory An arbitrary variation of the metric tensor in (5) now gives Z p g C C d4x = Z p gW g d4x where W is a complicated expression involving the Ricci tensor and scalar and their derivatives (in a space where matter is present, W would be proportional to the symmetric energy tensor T ). We characterize semi-Riemannian manifolds admitting a global con-formal transformation such that the difference of the two Ricci tensors is a constant multiple of the metric. When a new metric is generated by conformal transformation the concern arises as to whether it is di erent from the original, or merely a coordinate transformation. Here are a few equivalent de nitions of conformal: 1. I put here a diagram of a two dimensional sphere with radius $r$.

Rehren, Konforme Quantenfeldtheorie (in German), lecture notes, a pdf-file is available on Rehren's homepage M. 59 is always satisfied in any Riemann spacetime, because R is tensor. Conformal Transformations By a conformal (or scale) transformation we mean a change in the metric given by g0 = exp[ˇ(x)]g , where ˇ is some arbitrary scalar field. 1 Symmetries of a Metric (Isometries): Preliminary Remarks. Such techniques allow us to obtain very interesting insights on the physical content of these transformations, when applied to non-standard gravity. For objets naturally associated with metric g (such as the Levi-Civita ∇, the curvature tensor R, Jacobi operator JR), we will use the self-explanatory symbols ∇¯,R,J¯ ¯ R denote the analogous objects corresponding to ¯g. 1) with = diag:( 1;1:::;1) the Minkowski at space metric or = the usual Euclidean metric. The field. It is important to consider the Ricci scalar first. The weak field limit of scalar tensor theories of gravity is discussed in view of conformal transformations. I have a write-up of the conformal transformation of the Ricci scalar in Zee's notation attached in a pdf with all the gory details and it arrives at the correct result as given in Zee - the Ricci tensor is in most of the terms until I contract ##g^{bd}## so it would be very easy to read off most of the calculation and simplify the Ricci tensor. We find the vacuum field equations of the theory and analyze its weak-field approximation and Newtonian limit. Rademacher [4] proved Theorem 3. The actions for the theory are equivalent and equations of motion can be obtained from each action. In analogy to the f(R) extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity, f(T) theories are generalizations of the action of teleparallel gravity.

Then the class of actions is determined for which Weyl-gauging may be replaced by a suitable coupling to the curvature (Ricci gauging). A conformal field theory (CFT) is a quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal transformations. A pseudo-Riemannian manifold of dimension n [greater than or equal to] 4 is called essentially conformally symmetric if it is conformally symmetric [2] (in the sense that its Weyl conformal tensor is parallel) without being conformally flat or locally symmetric. Suppose S is a C2. * Relationships: The metrics in the two frames are conformally related, g ab E = Ω 2 g ab J, and the dilatons are related by φ J = 1/GA 2 (φ E); Since the transformation is local Chisholm's theorem implies that the S-matrices are equivalent; The scalar-field transformation shows that the Einstein-frame theory can be considered as a sector of. A conformal transformation can now be de ned as a coordinate transformation which acts on the metric as a Weyl transformation. General Relativity (GR) is a successful relativistic theory of gravitation. 1 Minkowski limit 11 5. It is based on the concept that Maxwell’s equations can be written in a form-invariant manner under coordinate transformations, such that only the permittivity and permeability tensors are modified. We can multiply the conformal vector by a scalar factor without affecting the point that it represents. As described by Dorst, Fontijne, and Mann in [2], tis a tangent vector formed by wedging the origin blade with a Euclidean vector v: t= n o ∧v = n. 1 Conformal Mapping and Partial Differential Equations A point in the w-plane can be related to a given point in the z-plane with a func-tion.

Another scalar field naturally arises in the context of (local) conformal changes of the metric, discussed by Dicke (Dicke 1962). If we set the n 0 dimension to a constant value of -1 then we can represent the projective model, this is the simplest to calculate isometries , most of the examples on. A pseudo-Riemannian manifold of dimension n [greater than or equal to] 4 is called essentially conformally symmetric if it is conformally symmetric [2] (in the sense that its Weyl conformal tensor is parallel) without being conformally flat or locally symmetric. CONFORMAL DEFORMATION OF A RIEMANNIAN METRIC 481 The sign of the constant term A in this expansion is then the crucial ingredient. In this case, it is convenient to denote the conformal metric as ˆg = u n4−2g for some.
